Our 2022 Farm to Fork Crab Fest Fundraiser was held on Saturday, August 13, 2022, and it was an amazing time! We couldn’t have asked for better weather, and it was the perfect backdrop to a truly spectacular evening. Everyone enjoyed scrumptious food, learned about Red Wiggler and our programs, and appreciated the beauty of our farm where we grow our Certified Organic veggies.

 

Our event was held in our historic barn, and we had 2 long tables for guests to mingle and feast on crabs and the magnificent side dishes and dessert. Here are some photos of our very picturesque barn, event venue, and setup.

The menu for 2022 was amazing, and we featured a summer favorite and staple, steamed Maryland blue crabs.

Specialties were prepared by Chef Thomas O’Gara, Chef Blanca Menjivar, and Chef Robert Bossman. Here is a photo of the super talented chefs.
